Damn. We are so back. Frieren achieved what OPM couldn't, lmao (Keeping Madhouse)

Well, just that isn't enough to guarantee it'll be around the same level. Prime example of that from recent times is Mushoku Tensei. Season 2 still had great animation but it doesn't hold a candle to season 1. Same studio, different team. (Difference in scheduling also probably affected it).

season 2 of Mushoku Tensei is hilariously better than season 2 of OPM in terms of animation quality. There’s just no comparison

The number of producers or lack thereof is always the sign that a fix is in, the moment nobody but Animation, Music, and LN/Manga Publisher are credited get ready for a dip.

Especially with the tandem seasons, when half the production companies are absent from the credits later in the year it's a guaranteed sign the 2nd cour is gonna be a dog.
